Reggio nell’Emilia (commonly known as Reggio Emilia; Rèz in the local dialect), was also called the “City of the Tricolore”, since the Italian three-coloured national flag was adopted for the first time in this city on 7 January 1797.

The old city centre has today the shape of an elongated hexagon, crossed by the Via Emilia, and has a 16th-18th century appearance.
